Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band is about appreciating the simple things in life, like home-cooked meals, spending time with family and friends, and being mindful and thankful for the freedoms we have. It was written by Zac Brown and Wyatt Durrette, and was inspired by personal experiences reflecting the southern culture of the United States.
